Rear high level brake light connection? (182 FF)

[SIMPLE91]

My rear high level brake light hasn't been working for a wee bit, at first I assumed it was just the bulbs but I got a friend to replace them all, and it's working fine when connected to the mains at home.

He also tested the connection from the car itself and said it's fine, so we've come to the conclusion that it's the little white connector that connects the light to the car, pictured here:

It's in pretty horrid condition, the connectors aren't copper, more green

Is there a way to buy that specific bit without having to repurchase the entire light? As the light itself is in fine condition.

Probably a long shot but figured I'd ask anyway.

Just but the light, they're something like £24 from Renault IIRC

What's the best way to prize these out?

Lever away at the points with the silver clips from the bottom?

Assume it can be done without taking off the spoiler?

Get a knife on the long and and slowly prise it out. Doesn't take much force

Bringing this back slightly- Is there any difference between a 172 Cup H/L brake light and a lower spec one? (ie could I use one from a 1.2 or another version of RS?) And anyone got a part number?

A few standard models used the 172 spoiler

This the one you're talking about?

All boot lids are the same on mk2s aside from the ph1 handle so it's a straight swap

So any phase 2 high level brake light strip (just the leds not the full spoiler) will fit my 172 cup then?

Wrong.

The Cup spoiler has a different brake light unit to the 172/base models

Wrong.
